I searched and thought about what to do after paying off my H2 a few months ago. I initially thought of buying either an h1 or a Raptor, and in the end I did neither of these. I decided that I wanted to get a vehicle for my daughter. In fact if I had ended up buying a raptor my daughter would have been the one driving it.
So I came pretty close to buying a raptor last week, but I just couldn't pull the trigger on it. I asked my daughter, what do you really want, a raptor or something else? She said what about either an H3 alpha or an H2. Think of it, she picked a Hummer over a 2012 Ford raptor! Bless her little heart and proof that sometimes the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree
In the end, in a moment of serendipity I stumbled across an absolutely mint condition, low mileage 2006 slate blue H2. I'm talking a shade over 30,000 miles and the truck spent most of it's life just parked in the garage with about 100 coats of wax on the outside So I ended up picking this up for my daughter late last night. This particular truck has the rear seat TV screens, touch screen nav unit, offroad light bar on the roof, Lux package (so no sagging air bags to worry about), and the previous owner had updated the interior with a wood dashboard/interior kit, which in all actuality looks pretty good once you see it up close and personal.
Already she (not me) is making up the mod list. She wants 37" tires, new rims, roof rack (with the spare on top), etc etc. So I would expect to possibly see a mom and daughter team out on the trails soon. Here's a couple of pictures of the driveway as of this morning which probably now has more hummers than most ex-hummer dealers lol
